Bucky's a Blast

Oh that Bucky he's a nutter. Crazy as a fox (although I'd never put it to him like that him being a cat and all) and the ego of a tiger. He stopped by last night to tell me all about his plan to boost his reputation with the dark ones.

"What's that old Bucky my friend," I asks him.

"I'm going to take down the little blond haired, blue eyed girl at the end of the street."

"Take her down?"

"Like a lion on a gazelle. I'll eat like a king for a week."

Now Bucky's a might sensitive about his size and all and he ain't no creature of power so I twisted up me guts not trying to laugh out loud."

"I've got it all figured out. She's always playing late a night near the edge of the woods. So I'm going to give her my best soulful meow and lure her into the woods. Then I'll get her to chase me down this old path and there's a big old root in that path and she'll trip on it and then I'll pounce! I'm going right for the jugular! Can you imagine? Little girls have got to taste soooo sweet."

"Wouldn't know old Bucky. Don't have many from where I come from. You sure you thought this through? She may be little for a human, but I'm thinking she's still six times your size."

"Are you doubting my feline fighting skills?"

"No mate, just your ability to work around the laws of physics."

"Hey! When she's down on the ground she's no taller than me!"

"But she'll still weigh the same mate. All she's got to do is roll on you and she'll turn you into a tube of toothpaste... not that I ever use the stuff meself... did taste it once though... kind of nice and minty it was."

"I'm gonna do it tonight Aimless! You'll see! All you dark boys will be talking about it for centuries! I bet Luke himself will come to see me about it. He'll probably give me take me into his clan... give me a real job with the corporation."

I just smiled. That Bucky's a rich one. Heart of a lion, but the body of a kitty. Oh well...
